Monrovia Mayor Mary Ann Lutz has signed a letter asking California's senators to reach a "grand bargain" that would avoid federal sequestration cuts that could threaten jobs at Monrovia firms with defense contracts.
Lutz joined the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation and other cities and defense firms urging Senator Diane Feinstein and Senator Barbara Boxer to "find a 'grand bargain' with 'a balanced and comprehensive package of solutions that include: tax code reform; entitlement reform; Workforce Investment Act (WIA) reauthorization; and short- and long-term job growth and economic prosperity strategies,' according to the My Monrovia Business Blog
The city warned of potential job loss from sequestration cuts last year.
